The review: After reading this book I can say that it was very
entertaining. This book will grab you and won't let you go until the last
 page. The books are fairly short being only 228 pages long for the first one, 672 pages for the entire first three novels. Out of 5 stars I gave this book a 4. Here's where you can purchase this book:
